MJ, you have always been such a support for all of us when we need it, of course we will be here for you. I understand how you are feeling completely, I get so down at times that this nightmare will come back. Even in my good days, I carry around this sadness within me, nights are terrible at times. I too am coming up for my scans in January and I get more nervous as they approach. Headaches..been there too. Your symtoms sound like the ones I have continuously had. My headaches would get so bad at times,they would radiate around my head. I have insisted on regular brain MRI's when I do my scans every 6 months. It makes no sense to me checking out my body and ignoring the brain. My Oncologists jokingly calls me the "crazy brain lady" and says he has more brain MRI's on file for me than he needs. They have all come out clean. Headaches were due to sinus problems, neck problems, stress..who knows. You are doing the right thing having it checked out, we have to stay on top of things...I still haven't adjusted to this new "normal" that we have...sherryg683
